MACHINE FOR SHAVING HOOPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 235,250, dated December'7, 1880, Application filed September :29, 1880. (ModeL) To all whom itmay concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR JONES, of Martins Ferry, in the county ofBelmont and State of Ohio, have invented a new and valuable Improvementin Machines for Shaving Hoops; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the constructionand operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures ofreference marked thereon.

Figure l of thedrawings is a representation of a side elevation. Fig. 2is a plan.

This invention relates to machines for shaving hoops; and it consists inthe construction and combination of parts hereinafter specified.

In the drawings, A represents a drive-shaft, which gears in any suitablemanner with the transverse shafts B B and O 0. Upon the ends of theselatter shafts, opposite to which the power is applied, there arefastened rollers 12 b c c, which said rollers act as a feed to bring thework to the knives.

Immediately back of rollers b b are located the vertical knives D D,which shape the faces of the work. At the rear of these knives there islocated a bracket, E, which is let into a recess in the side of theframe. Upon the outer edge of this bracket, at its forward end, there isplaced a plate-spring, F, which, exerting an inward pressure, keeps thework steady. Back of this are located two horizontal knives, G G, whichtrim the edges of the work. One of these knives, G, is located on thebracket outside the frame, the other, G, within the recess in the frame.Back of these knives are the feedrollers c c.

As the work is fed to the rollers b b these latter gripe it and pass iton to the vertical knives D D, which shape the faces. It is then forcedupon the bracket E, which is beveled in front to facilitate such action,and the spring F forms a horizontal guide to guide it true to the knivesG G, and the rollers c c conduct it off.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patcut, is

1. In a hoop-shaving machine, a pair of vertical knives and a pair ofhorizontal knives, in combination with an intervening spring arrangedhorizontally and adapted to bear upon the edge of the work in passingfrom one pair of knives to the other.

2. In a hoop-shaving machine, the combination of vertical knives D D,horizontal knives G G, and intervening horizontally acting spring F, incombination with two pairs of feedrollers, one pair in front of thevertical, the other pair back of the horizontal, knives.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.

ARTHUR JONES.
